I'm sorry, I hope I'm not completely misunderstanding what you are saying.
What I think you are looking for, as I understand it, is an individual or group
that uses electronics as a more prominent part of the music instead of as an
after thought. Is that right? And the music would be more structured like
electronic music is and less with the verse - chorus - verse - chorus structure
that most rock music falls pray to. If this sound right them you should check
out Acceleradeck:

We where just talking about this guy the other day on the list. It's kind of
interesting stuff. The main thing I get from his music (as it pertains to what
I think you're talking about) is that his music is mainly Drum & Bass with
guitars instead of synth parts. You could also look at it as, My Bloody
Valentine with D&B rhythms instead of live drums. I think it sounds pretty
cool. especially the song "Traces Of Everything". I like the way the guitars
are sort of a wash of texture. Something about the song "Sketch Set" bothers
me. I'm not sure what it is... Maybe it's to happy or something. ; )
